Vehicle breakdown insurance - Green Flag our choice

Because we aim to be the premier website for driving holidays in Europe, we believe we should offer Vehicle Breakdown Insurance as a part of our service.

After our research we have decided to partner with Green Flag. Together with the AA and RAC, Green Flag are the foremost providers of this valuable cover. None of these three are the cheapest, but we think reliability and speed of response are vital factors in considering which breakdown insurer to choose.

The AA states that it has an average arrival time of 40 minutes, while RAC aims to get to you within 40 minutes.* Green Flag claim they take an average of under 30 minutes to get to breakdowns.**

And if you only want basic UK cover then prices start from just £20 per year. European short-term cover starts from £10.40 for one day, while a 3 day trip will cost just £25.70. Two weeks cover is available for £51. Green Flag also offer annual European cover which is great value if you travel abroad frequently by car.
